Detailed explanation-1: -The main act of violence that starts the chain of events to bring about the end of the play is when Prince Hamlet stabs Polonius. Polonius was spying on a meeting between Hamlet and the Queen to measure Hamlet’s sanity and to see what Hamlet thought of Claudius and Ophelia when Prince Hamlet killed him.
Detailed explanation-2: -1 Answer. Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius because he thought that he was Claudius, listening in on he and his mother’s private conversation behind the curtain.
Detailed explanation-3: -In his last attempt to spy on Hamlet, Polonius hides himself behind an arras in Gertrude’s room. Hamlet deals roughly with his mother, causing her to cry for help. Polonius echoes the request for help and is heard by Hamlet, who then mistakes the voice for Claudius’ and stabs through the arras and kills him.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hamlet intimidates Gertrude, and she cries out that he is trying to murder her. Polonius reacts from behind the curtain and yells for help. Hamlet draws his sword and thrusts it through the tapestry, killing Polonius.
